Ready your taste buds…scrumptious apple empanadas made with hazelnut Nutella are just in time for Fall! These incredible, sugary sweet dumplings incorporate two different types of apples for the filling – Granny Smith and Fuji – that produce a tart/mellow tango in your mouth. Cream cheese as a main ingredient adds extra flavor and tenderness in the doe during the creaming process. And a little Jack Daniels certainly keeps things interesting as well :). Only to cook with!

Be sure to grab the kiddos when assembling them at home. Of course, you can also find the Dos Empanadas made fresh by Pastry Chef Henry Wesolowski at that special spot in the Texas Hill Country: The Westin La Cantera Hill Country Resort.
